On view September 21 through February 2013 in the museum’s second floor Community Gallery, Digging the City will bring to life the experiences of our waterfront’s historic inhabitants by presenting a collection of objects uncovered during the construction of I-95.

Since Native American settlements and historic alleys, streets and wharves are still buried below the open spaces of adjacent to I-95, Digging the City presents a unique snapshot of how the area evolved over time, from its earliest residents through the city’s industrial age.
